An ordinary man, an extraordinary journey.

Question for you…

I’m planning out my next comic after Tripp and was wondering how most of you read your comics. Desktop? Laptop? Mobile Device? I’m trying to figure out if doing a more vertical strip is the way to go. It’s easier to scroll up and down than left to right. Thoughts?

So do you just turn your tablet sideways to read strips? I’m waffling back and forth between keeping a strip like I have it for Tripp or doing something sort of like Loading Artist (http://www.loadingartist.com) with wider panels but in a vertical format.

Laptop with RSS here. Your layout is pretty good as it is. A more horizontal format wouldn’t be as user friendly, I’m thinking. Less Intuitional (is that even a word?). Love the comic. Looking forward to what else your mind coughs up

I get the comic via RSS through Feedly so that I can have a central location to track the 100+ comics and blogs I read I read it on my desktop, tablet, or phone, depending on which device I happen to be using at the time. Table and phone are usually used in landscape.

Render each frame as an individual image and use a responsive stylesheet to control wrapping. Then people on larger screens can see the strip horizontally (no wrap) and people on smaller screens can see it vertically (wrap after each frame).

The only time this causes problems is when you want to do an extra-wide panel or do a directional effect across frames. But there are ways to work around that.
